Burger Of The Week* Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each one to prevent puffing while cooking.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the patties are cooking, wash and prepare the lettuce, slice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slice, red onion slices, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
